Diana K Frierson was born February 2, 1945, and passed away on August 23, 2025 at the age of 80. She came to Picayune in 1965 and was soon employed at the Stennis Space Center where she met her husband of 53 years, Jerry Reginald (Reggie) Frierson.

Left to cherish her memory are two daughters, Leah Danielle Ervin (Brian) of Brandon MS, and Helen Denise Laster (Robert) of Navarre FL, and two grandchildren, Noah Avery Ervin and Daisy Kate Ervin. Diana leaves three sisters: Marti Stecina (Ray) of Brandon MS, Ginger Carroll (Greg) of Lee's Summit MO, and Debby Constantino (Larry) of Ponte Vedra, FL.

She is preceded in death by her husband Reggie Frierson, and her parents James Hubert and Thelma Estalee Gilbert Avery.

Diana was retired from her job as secretary at Roseland Park Baptist Church where she served for almost thirty years. One of her greatest joys was singing in the choir. She was living in Brandon, MS, when she passed and enjoyed working in her yard tending her flowerbeds, reading, and spending time with her family.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Samaritan's Purse, a Franklin Graham organization serving people around the world. www.samaratinspurse.org.
